With those wages, people are going to be losing money living in Napa. That has to be one of the most expensive places on the planet. There once was a time when these projects paid three times these wages. At this kind of pay they are just going to be killing young inexperienced people.

The worst part about climbing the beetle kill Pines was having to peel the sheets of bark off that hadn't Fallen yet. A lot of times I would carry a hatchet or an axe just to break through that thick Ponderosa bark so I could get my spurs into some solid wood. I made the mistake of not debarking...

If you leave a gap between your two rings roughly the length of your two Fists put together end-to-end there should be enough compression on the friction saver that it will pinch The Spar without any issues. The beetle kill trees We Are Climbing in California didn't have any bark half the time...
